Hi.

Before we add the fractions, we have to make sure denominators are the same numbers. 3 goes into 6, so the denominators will change to 6.

Oh, and the numerator of the fraction we changed also changes.


3 (4)/(6) + 2(1)/(6) = 5(5)/(6)

Hope this helped you understand! Let me know if you didn't.
